Still not as bad as when David Cameron and Angela Merkel declared the necessity of austerity measures during a banquet with solid gold dinnerware while sitting on literal golden thrones.

He actually said "Austerity should last for ever and Britain should get used to it" before sipping $10,000 wine from his crystal goblet.

Man strips naked, washes with milk after spraying bear spray in pants

PENTICTON, B.C. -- Mounties in Penticton, B.C., say they got quite an eyeful last week after a man peeled off his clothes and began washing himself with milk after inadvertently spraying bear spray down his pants.

RCMP spokesman Cpl. Don Wrigglesworth said officers were called to a local gas station shortly before 2 a.m. on Aug. 24 to find the victim completely naked.

"He was in excruciating pain and vigorously using his shirt to scrub his genitals with homogenized milk in an attempt to relieve the pain," said Wrigglesworth.

The man told police he had been attacked by three unknown men, but Wrigglesworth said an investigation revealed the spray pattern "was consistent with the alleged victim carrying his own can of bear spray and it went off unintentionally."

He said the victim then became uncooperative.

Later that night, police were called to a home and found five people outside rolling on the ground after they, too, were hit with bear spray.

Wrigglesworth said the five were also uncooperative, but told police they were attacked over a debt.

The dude reported that he'd been the victim of a crime so they had to investigate.

You have to admit that the story "Three men attacked me and shot me in the dick with bear spray. No they didn't spray it in my face. No they didn't take my wallet. No I can't describe them" is pretty suss.

The article doesn’t explicitly say who called the police. I assumed it was someone else calling about a naked man at 2 a.m., but you may be right—the paper probably would have mentioned a third party.

“Oh, BTW, three other people were also bear‐sprayed in the same town on the same night” is pretty :wtf:. Is that sort of thing common in Canada?

Oh man I just remembered a thing.

So, back when I was in high school, they had us do some kind of big research project in the final year. It was meant to give us a better understanding of how the scientific method works, and it had to be about subjects relating to at least two classes you took. For instance, lots of kids did some kind of neat physics experiment and wrote a report about the physics and maths and that covered the two classes.

Me and my project buddies decided to try something different: we'd research if and how it's possible to make a neat science demo class for primary schoolers. So we thought up some chem and physics experiments that could be done safely by 11-yo's, and arranged to try it out in a primary school.

The experiment I came up with was about simple acid-base chemistry. I used classic red cabbage juice as an indicator (the stuff turns bright red in the presence of acid, blue in the presence of base), so I asked my mom to cook a cabbage and collect the juice in a bottle for me. I also grabbed some household goods as safe acids and bases: vinegar, lemon, baking soda, detergent.

Everything went well, the kids were playing around a bit with the stuff I brought, they did the little tests I had put on a sheet for them and answered their questions, until we got to the last question. "What happens when you first add an acid to the indicator, and then add a base?"
The intended answer was of course that the colour changes to red and then back to purple/blue.

But, the kids decided to grab vinegar and baking soda. In case you don't know, the reaction of those two produces a lot of gas, a lot of bubbling. Good mix for launching a bottle rocket.

Anyway, they were working with open beakers so there weren't any explosions, but the bubbling caused the mixture to flow everywhere, over this kid's school desk we were doing the experiment on.

We cleaned it up the best we could - but guess what, the smell of several-day-old cabbage juice cannot be removed by scrubbing. I felt kinda sorry for that kid because she had to spend the rest of her school year at a desk that smelled like old cabbages.

I think she chased after the truck and pulled in front of it to stop it because he didn't pick up all her trash? He was contracted to pick up four bags but she put five out so he left one.

Besides, the bear spray incident in Canada is because of gun control. Instead of guns, people use bear spray as a weapon. That said, using it as a weapon can lead to charges of assault with a weapon and carrying a concealed weapon. It is illegal to carry a product designed for personal protection against a human attack, according to the Criminal Code of Canada. This includes brass knuckles, tasers, and spring loaded batons.

quote:

Swiss prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into German football legend Franz Beckenbauer and three others over Germany's bid for the 2006 World Cup.

As members of that cup's organising committee, they are suspected of fraud, criminal mismanagement, money laundering and misappropriation.

Some of the alleged crimes were carried out on Swiss territory.

Mr Beckenbauer, who headed the bid, has previously denied corruption.

Last October, he said he had made a "mistake" in the bidding process to host the competition in 2000 but denied votes had been bought.

In March, football's world governing body Fifa began looking into six men for their part in Germany winning the rights to host the 2006 cup.
